Windsor Hills Question RE: Owner

[kristieleeoz]

Hi Everyone,

What do you make of this?

I booked a townhouse for April and have paid the deposit. I have e mailed the owner twice since Christmas to touch base and confirm that everything is ok. No response. Should I be nervous?

Well if you have the phone number I would call to get ahold of them if you don't get an answer and no return call within a week then I would be concerned and start looking for other avenues for your stay just to be safe.

Hi Kristie

They may still be away on holidays...especially if they are UK citizens. We're used to one or 2 week holidays, they usually vacation for extended periods. So I wouldn't worry, just yet

I know I try to stay away from my emails as much as I can on vacation!

When you sent them the deposit, did you get a reciept/confirmation of payment? Did you book through an owner direct website? Or through a managment company?

I know it's scary to see accomodations on the internet, and send so much hard saved vacation funds to someone you've never met. Don't forget too, they have 16 weeks of other vacationing families coming up as well. Some owners manage that better than others, and I know our family likes to feel like we're the only family that this owner is dealing with LOL! We're a little spoiled that way

If you'd care to pm me a little more information, I know some WH owners that may be able to provide a little more insight for you. Just let me know

And like F4Disneyfan said, give them a call. Renting homes requires trust on a 2 way street, and any owner will be glad to have confirmation from you that you're still interested in their home too

HTH!!
